My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

Su Mo did not have high standards for food. As long as it could be preserved for a long time and not spoil, that was enough for him.

The special ability of the flour was just what he wanted.

​​ 

At this stage, everyone’s meal was extremely basic. For example, the Dalieba that Su Mo ate had at least enough sodium for his daily needs.

Others were not so lucky!

For some people’s three meals, they could only resort to digging out grass, cutting tree barks, or even eating dirt just to survive.

As for the mutant beast meat that could be traded, due to the harsh environment, the animals did not carry much fat in their meat. That was why anyone who tried to chew through them would think that they were chewing through tree bark. The meat was as dry as a bone.

Oreo was fine with cold or raw meat. In fact, it would eat them with relish.

Su Mo was also fine with the arrangement. Compared to the exchange price of 100ml of water for 500g of bread in the trading market, Su Mo could get about 700g to 800g of mutant beast meat for just 100ml of water.

Su Mo’s eyes flickered when he opened up the trading panel.

That day, he decided to treat himself. He was going to spend more water in exchange for some good food to celebrate the successful exploration in the ruin as he came out of it in one piece.

He had at his disposal a full afternoon’s worth of water stocked up, including the remainder from the morning and the amount he drank for healing his body.

At that moment, his psychic energy water was 3.8L.

Among the survival players globally, if Su Mo recognized himself as number two, no one would dare to claim they were number one.

After checking and making sure that no one listed any rare items, Su Mo immediately began his keyword search.

“Chicken”

[Sorry, no items were found with the term chicken.]

“Pork”

[Sorry, no items were found with the term pork.]

“Beef”

….

There were thousands of strange items in the trading channel and there was no shortage of people getting good things that existed on earth from the treasure chests. However, the exception was meat products.

After searching around, Su Mo had no choice but to change his strategy. This time, he changed his keyword to canned meat.

[Sorry, no items were found with the term canned meat.]

“Not even this?

“Cured meat!”

[There were 2 items found with your term.]

After changing his strategy once again, Su Mo cracked a satisfied smile.

A piece of 400g cured meat and a piece of 200g cured meat. According to the unit price, 1ml of water could be exchanged for 3g of cured meat, which was quite a high price.

After opening up the private chat function and creating a private message for the seller, the seller could not contain their surprise when they saw they were contacted by Su Mo. They quickly asked him if he was going to trade with his psychic energy water.

After Su Mo gave them an affirmative answer, the sellers took the initiative to lower the price.

The unit price was reduced to 1ml of water for 6g of cured meat. That price left Su Mo dumbfounded.

In those two days, although the psychic energy water had been rumored to be healing holy water, many people were not sure whether it was true or not despite hearing all the claims.

When Su Mo saw how cooperative the sellers were, he decided to make a PR stunt out of the situation. As such, he traded the items at the original price and left the sellers in a very grateful mood.

After spending 200ml of psychic energy water for the cured meat, a flash of light appeared and the water level of the barrel storing the psychic energy water dropped by a negligible amount.

After that, two different sizes of cured meat appeared in Su Mo’s inventory.

He took out the cured meat and looked at the fat and lean meat. It was slightly transparent, shiny and brightly colored. Su Mo could not help but feel his appetite growing when he saw the pinkish cured meat.

Su Mo took out 6 units of iron blocks that were stashed for the base’s upgrade and switched to the creation page.

[Iron Stove: iron 6/6, wood 1/1, clay 2/2]

Creation confirmed!

Iron block-6, wood-1, clay-2!

As the light of creation flashed, a common stove from the countryside appeared in Su Mo’s inventory.

After Su Mo found a place near the corner, the stove materialized in the position as soon as he confirmed the thought.

That was also one of the benefits of creating things with the system. As long as the person focused with their mind, they could choose where to place the item the first time.

After he took out the wok that he looted from the ruin, he poured in 100ml of psychic energy water and cleaned it, while Oreo howled as it lay in the doorway.

“I’ve almost forgotten you, little guy.”

From the moment they returned, Oreo spontaneously ran to the door to guard it. It was very well-behaved and not like a real-life husky at all.

At that moment, the dog was tempted by the smell of the cured meat. It wanted to go over and beg its owner for some to eat, but at the same time, it was also worried that monsters would come in if he left the door and Su Mo would not be protected.

“Wait a little while, then we’ll eat together. Be patient.”

With an approving look, Su Mo looked at Oreo. After Oreo received the affirmation, it stopped howling, but Su Mo could clearly tell what Oreo was really thinking about from the drool dripping down at the corner of its mouth.

Huskies were originally working dogs. It was only after they were taken into the city as house pets that they gradually lost their wild instincts and the only job they did now was mess up the house.

At that moment, the husky guarding the shelter door was as good as the mongrels in the countryside who guarded farm houses.

After cleaning the wok, Su Mo placed it on the stovetop.

Since his parents were from the countryside, he was not like fancy children from the city who only knew how to use gas stoves by twisting a knob.

Su Mo took out a unit of wood and stuffed it underneath. He retrieved the lighter that he traded earlier and ignited some plant fiber so that the fire could start easily.

Su Mo poured about a liter of psychic energy water before tossing two pieces of cured meat inside.

Due to the limited conditions, he intended to make a cured meat soup to nourish himself and drink something nice and hot.

It was a pity that he just started planting the cabbage and tomatoes next to him. Otherwise, the meal would taste even better with some fresh vegetables inside.

After adding salt to bring out the flavors, he added a little salted black soybean, cooking wine, and some black pepper to improve the taste. After a while, a fresh sweet smell came from the boiling cured meat soup.

The hungry caterpillar inside Su Mo also poked its head out as he sat beside the wok, watching over the soup.

For three whole days, Su Mo had not eaten any food with seasoning.

In the past, he would never have thought that a cured meat soup without any vegetables could make him drool like that.

When Su Mo saw that the soup was almost done, he opened the trade panel again and bought a catty of mutant aardwolf meat.

He used three units of wood to make two small basins as well as a pair of chopsticks.

Su Mo placed one of the basins on the ground and put the aardwolf meat into it. After that, he took out a portion of the cured meat soup from the wok and poured it into the same basin, along with the 200g piece of cured meat.

“Oreo, come and eat.”

“Today’s meal is to reward you for protecting your master during battle, so remember to do your best in the future, okay?”

In the battle with the black dog, Oreo stepped forward bravely and stopped the black dog’s second pounce, creating a good opportunity for Su Mo.

Right then, it was only natural for him to reward it.

When Su Mo saw Oreo running in circles in response to the hot and fragrant soup, he laughed out loud and poured everything left in the wok into his own basin.

Psychic energy water originally had a glutinous fragrance and tasted good by itself. After boiling, the sweet flavor unrestrainedly diffused in the air. Fortunately, the rich and delicious cured meat was able to trap the endless expansion of sweet fragrance before it dissipated.

The soup was slightly white with some oil floating on the surface of the broth. It was mouth-watering and pleasing to the eyes.

He used his chopsticks to pick up some cured meat. When he gently bit into it, it was juicy and tasted mellow. It was fatty but not greasy, lean enough but not dry.

Local Chinese food always healed his soul.

Suddenly, it did not feel like they were in a doomsday world where unexpected surprises lay in every turn. Instead, it felt as if they were in the midst of happiness, floating in heaven.

Even though the soup was a little hot, Su Mo picked up the small basin and slurped down the soup ravenously. It left a lingering fragrance in his mouth and he basked in the aftertaste.

After the grand meal, the main and the dog basked in a satisfied food trance.

Oreo’s belly was perfectly round after eating. Along with its serious but funny expression on its little tilted head, it looked ridiculously cute.

Since Su Mo needed some time to digest his food, he opened up the private message panel.

Sure enough, he received several private messages from Feng Mengyue.
